The one thing you do want is a hose bib thread chaser..

Bought one, arrived yesterday already used it twice. Very handy, worth every penny! Screenshot_20250917_170105_Amazon Shopping.jpg

Nothing worse than someone who needs to hook up to a hose bib only to find out you can't use it.. For us guys who don't have freshwater tanks.. And limited hose.. You find a way, but may take 20mins or so..

The other thing I need is the commercial hose adaptor.. It's like a 1".. I kept dragging my feet on looking for one.. Schools and buildings normally have it..

I'll send you one of each to play with I'll also send you some of my spiral wrap been protector which is way better than the vinyl sleeves as it allows the hose to cool down much quicker
Received your care package today, thanh you very much the valve looks very well built. Looking at pictures of it i had my doubts. Ive used valves that looked similar in the past the biggest difference is the handle .the ones ive had in the past had cheap ass stamped sheet metal and didn't hold up very long in the feild. This valve yoi sent has a seriously thich metal handle and they also spent the extra penny or so to include a lock washer which none of the others bother to do. Now as far as the hose end goes can you tell which one of the two is yours and which one is a gator grip? (The one on the far right is a parker ) ill give yours a try. But im going to install it on the machine end just incase. Neither yours or gator grips are as robustly built as the parker unfortunately parker only comes as zinc plated steel but it is thicker .371. Yours comes in @.361 and the gator grip came in @.353 . But at only .008 of an inch difference can be with in the manufacturer specs . I only pulled 1 gator grip outa the scrape heap and measured. Just to satisfy my curiosity ill measure the others tomorrow. The parker has it on grip notice how much more threds there are g just screwing um into the hose requires alot more effort. Will see. Ill also try the bend resitictor you sent. Im pretty happy with the ones i use however i think they stopped making um. Ill try yours and switch if i like um if not ill search the ones ive been using nos and buy 4 or 5 packs(8 to a pack) that'll last me my lifetime. Thank you again. Dwaino (p.s. gator grip left yours middle parker right)
